HumphryDavy(British)漢弗萊戴維英國(guó)化學(xué)家、詩人漢弗萊·戴維。1778年出生。他小時(shí)聰明、淘氣，不喜歡讀書，喜歡玩樂。他不到20歲時(shí)，父親去世。為了養(yǎng)家糊口，他到當(dāng)?shù)匾晃会t(yī)生那當(dāng)學(xué)徒，從此接觸并喜歡上化學(xué)，因?yàn)橛X得自己知識(shí)淺薄，他就自訂方案發(fā)奮用功，憑著他的天資和勤奮，很快掌握了七種語言和不少科學(xué)知識(shí)，并最終成為了英國(guó)皇家學(xué)會(huì)的主席。1798年戴維的名聲隨著他對(duì)笑氣的發(fā)現(xiàn)而傳遍了整個(gè)英國(guó)。他還帶病專門研究火焰，創(chuàng)造了礦用平安燈〔1816〕，這種燈一直到今天仍叫戴維燈，曾挽救了成千上萬名礦工的生命。9.Whoinventedtheearliestinstrumenttotellpeoplewhereearthquakeshappened?ZhangHengseismograph10.Whoputforwardatheoryaboutblackholes?StephenHawkingStephenHawking斯帝芬·
